Question: Was it the additional dependencies that took FF out of the running? I'm thinking that something like this would be aesthetically more integrative. But what the hey I aint an artist I wonder if the skinners are rubbing their hands in glee right now to make landing pages...

I'm using a slightly modified version of awesomium which works cross platform (so what you see is basically chromium). Chromium still has some small issues with plugins on Linux but it's getting better and better with each day so I've no worries there.

Flash will work fine, have some nice ideas that I'm looking forward to puting in with regard to flash video (to accelerate it properly on Linux and eventually windows - job offers welcomed adobe).

Anyway I'm posting this from a muddy field camping in the rain in wales so will update when I'm able to code some more!
